Three Kittens Killed at NY Animal Breeder/Lab Previously fined in Suffocation Deaths of Two Dogs; Watchdog Group Calls for License Termination

BINGHAMTON/ELMIRA, NY Three kittens were killed because of gross
negligence at Liberty Research of Waverly, NY, reported a non-governmental
watchdog group which found the information in government records.

Previously, Liberty Research was fine $5,250 by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture for suffocating two dogs following an "Official Complaint" filed
by SAEN, a watchdog group based in Ohio that monitors the nation's
research facilities for wrongdoing.

SAEN said it has now filed another Official Complaint  which can lead to
fines and other penalties  against Liberty Research, seeking a federal fine
and the termination of Liberty's license as an animal breeder.

The canine suffocation deaths at Liberty Research occurred in 2014 and
garnered the federal penalty. In 2015, Liberty violated the Animal
Welfare Act seven times. The fatal incident involving the kittens took
place in 2016.

"Liberty Research's negligence led directly to the deaths of two dogs and
three cats," said Michael A. Budkie, A.H.T., SAEN executive director.
"This animal breeder/laboratory deserves to be closed down."

The most recent inspection, said SAEN, discloses that Liberty imprisons
2,878 cats, dogs, puppies and kittens. " The safety of these animals
is in danger as long as this negligent facility is in operation," noted
Budkie

All USDA reports and SAEN's Official Complaint are available upon request.
